Are `x = &v` and `*x = v` equivalent?

Question

int * x;
int v = 7;

Given this code, what is the difference between 1. x = &v , and 2. *x = v ? I understand that

Answer 1

& means address of.

* means value at.

In x = &v the address of v is assigned to x.

In *x = v - the value at x (the value at the address x) is assigned the value v.
